3 c. sugar
1 c. light cream
1 heaping tbsp. butter
1 tsp. vanilla
1 lb. dates, chopped
1 lb. figs, chopped
1 lb. raisins
1 lb. coconut
2 c. nuts, chopped

Cook sugar, cream, and butter to a soft ball. Beat until creamy, then beat in fruit and nuts. If coconut is coarse, grind it. When well mixed, roll as for meat loaf. Wrap in wet cloth, then in waxed paper and put away to ripen two weeks, or longer, in refrigerator.
